14. Changes in technology are not really comparable to this

The major change in technology that's driving our problems is that jobs are portable and can be outsourced. Carriage making ended an car manufacturing replaced it. Lots of upheaval there I'm sure. This, however is different. Jobs that still are being done, are not being done here, by Americans. They are not being replaced by other job, but rather have been sent away to be done more cheaply elsewhere. There's a huge world of difference.
